Jesper Bodilsen – Bassist Jesper Bodilsen, Betragtes Som En Af De Bedste Nye Bassister I Europa Jesper Bodilsen – bassist Jesper Bodilsen, betragtes som en af de bedste nye bassister i Europa. Han har turneret over hele verden og musikkritikere skriver bl.a.: "Ligesom NHOP har Bodilsen en varm lyd, stor fingerfærdighed, næsten fejlfri intonation og en aura af ro selv i midten af vulkanudbrud. Han er en lyrisk musiker, hvis smarte linjer udfolder sig med lethed " (JAZZTIMES, US) "Jesper Bodilsens basspil fortsætter teorien om, at Danmark er hjemmet til store bassister" (The Age, AUS) I 2004 modtog Jesper Bodilsen Django d'Or-prisen som "Performer Of The Year. Udover at spille med Mr. Taste – den legendariske trommeslager Ed Thigpen i mere end 10 år har Jesper Bodilsen også spillet og optaget med andre fantastiske musikere som: Joe Lovano, Brad Mehldau, Bill Frisell, Gregory Porter, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Lee Konitz, Marc Turner, Stefano Bollani, Lionel Loueke, Gino Vanelli, Phil Woods, Tom Harrell, Joey Calderazzo, Dino Saluzzi, Jimmy Heath og BennyGolson, James Moody, Horace Parlan, Duke Jordan, John Abercrombie, Enrico Rava, Paul Vertigo og Paulo Fresu. Han har medvirket på mere end 100 albums og på mange af dem også som producer. Som leder og medleder har han indspillet flere albums. Trioen med pianisten Stefano Bollani og Morten Lund har udgivet 2 album på den prestigefyldte ECM-label. Trioen betragtes som en af de bedste europæiske trioer lige nu med jobs på de vigtigste festivaler i Europa og et engagement på den legendariske jazzklub Birdland i New York. Pressen skrev: "Stone In The Water giver endelig trioen den internationale eksponering, den fortjener - det er årets mest sublime klavertriooptagelse, hvor stilhed og underdrivelse er lige så kraftfulde som den virtuositet, der understreger denne gruppes exceptionelle interne forståelse.

Depuis au moins 1959 en tout cas, et la fameuse tournée italienne de Chet Baker, épaulé notamment par le contrebassiste Giovanni Tommaso, aujourd’hui vétéran du jazz dans la péninsule. À vrai dire, l’Italie du jazz nous donne même depuis quelques décennies tant de musiciens de tout premier plan, que l’on finit par ne plus savoir par où commencer pour les nommer, ni où donner de la tête pour les entendre tous. Les pianistes Enrico Pieranunzi, Franco d’Andrea, Giovanni Mira- bassi, les trompettistes Enrico Rava et Paolo Fresu, les saxopho- nistes Stefano Di Battista, Francesco Bearzatti, Rosario Giuliani, ou encore les Français d’adoption comme le batteur Aldo Roma- no ou le contrebassiste Riccardo Del Fra. Cette précellence du jazz péninsulaire étant rappelée, disons-le: il n’y a pas plus de jazz italien qu’il n’y a de jazz français ou scandinave. Fût-ce avec un regard tourné vers le berceau états- unien, le jazz s’est toujours construit sur des ambitions transna- tionales, et celui qui nous vient d’Italie, comme les autres, ne ré- vèle pas de style ou de goût spécifique et homogène (à l’instar de ce qu’on appelait jadis les «écoles nationales»), mais au contraire une foisonnante diversité de conceptions.

  • Enrico Rava New York Days
    ECM Enrico Rava New York Days Enrico Rava: tromba; Mark Turner: sax tenore; Stefano Bollani: piano; Larry Grenadier: contrabbasso: Paul Motian: batteria ECM 2064 6025 177 2715 (1) Uscita: 23 gennaio 2009 New York ha sempre avuto una posizione privilegiata negli affetti di Enrico Rava, maestro italiano della tromba jazz, e non semplicemente per il ruolo di capitale mondiale del jazz che la storia ha riservato alla metropoli. Dopo le iniziali avventure europee con Gato Barbieri e Steve Lacy, nel 1967 Rava seguì i due prestigiosi jazzmen a New York e finì per rimanervi sei anni, prendendo parte alle rivoluzioni musicali del periodo, partecipando ad alcune registrazioni epocali e formando i primi gruppi come leader. Oggi riconosciuto come uno degli architetti di una nuova sensibilità improvvisativa europea e in particolare italiana, Rava ha costruito a New York la sua identità musicale; e del resto il jazz americano rimane il suo primo amore e il suo perenne quadro di riferimento. Quando Enrico parla dell’ideazione di “New York Days”, un album inciso a New York all’inizio dello scorso anno, cita l’influenza tanto di Duke Ellington che di Miles Davis, Duke per aver scritto musica “pensata per singoli solisti” e Miles “per non aver scritto più di tanto!”. In breve: alcune note ben scelte e una grande fiducia in tutti i partecipanti al progetto. “Io fornisco le melodie e gli accordi, alcune frasi per suggerire gli arrangiamenti… e se invece i musicisti decidono di suonare qualcos’altro, ne sono lietissimo. La bellezza di questa musica sta nella sua capacità di stupire.” Nota il sassofonista Mark Turner: Rava sa come “generare una gran quantità di contenuti da poche informazioni – e questo è veramente difficilissimo da fare, e Enrico lo sa fare così bene.” Poche informazioni ma molta storia fittamente intrecciata.

  • Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water
    Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water Here is someone standing at the entrance to the gallery who goes on talking all the time while almost all the visitors who come are rushing by in their eagerness to inspect what is on show inside. The hall a little way beyond is packed with rare and wonderful things, beautifully laid out and informatively labelled. There is much to see, much to learn. This is what the visitors have come for. Why, then, linger at the doorway? Why wait? But you, you have stopped. Thank you. Yes, this is the gallery, this the exhibition: a catalogue. We can use the word either to mean this paper object you hold in your hands or the totality of items a publisher or, as in this case, record company has available for sale: the CATALOGUE, as we may put it. Such a CATALOGUE is changeable as the ocean is: things will go (though rarely, where ECM is concerned), more will come. The catalogue, on the other hand, is fixed, a photograph of the ocean. There was a moment, probably before it reached print, when the catalogue was identical with the CATALOGUE. But that moment has passed and will not come again, for the ocean is growing and the photograph cannot. Is the catalogue therefore impoverished? No, no more than a photograph is. This is no snapshot, no fuzzy image trapped half_thoughtlessly on a mobile phone. Look at what you have in your hands: this is something well made, something composed. A professional photographer must have been invited to make a study of the ocean.

  • Genfødsel Holbæk Jazzklub Genoplives Med Nyt Spillested
    1 Genfødsel Holbæk Jazzklub genoplives med nyt spillested – Elværkets intimscene Jazzen i Holbæk Jazzklub i perioden 1995-2005 Af Flemming Højmann Hansen 1995: Genfødsel! I 1995 skulle Holbæk Jazzklubs 40 års jubilæum fejres, og en række personer – også fra jazzæraen (det vil sige før 1986!) – blev indbudt til at være med til at planlægge begivenheden. Det medførte, at en lille gruppe gamle jazzfolk ikke blot ville være med til at præsentere et par jubilæums- jazzkoncerter i en klub (”Musikklubben Værkstedet” med undernavnet Holbæk Jazzklub), der ikke havde viet jazzen interesse i ti år, så de satte sig for at afprøve mulighederne for en genfødsel af jazzklubben som jazzklub i nye egnede lokaler. Da samtidig medborgerhusfunktionen på ”Elværket” var i opløsning, lykkedes det at skabe politisk tilslutning til at rydde medborgerhusets værkstedsfunktioner på 1. sal af Elværket. Ved frivillig arbejdskraft – ikke mindst fra Musikklubben - indrettedes derefter en ny intimscene, som kunne rumme et publikum på 150 – og som egnede sig til jazzkoncerter. Samtidig genfødtes Holbæk Jazzklub – først som en underafdeling af og med økonomisk hjælp fra ”Musikklubben Værkstedet”– senere (1996) som selvstændig enhed igen. Jazzklubbens nye bestyrelse startede den musikalske linie op ud fra et nyt koncept – inspireret af jazzens flagskib: Copenhagen Jazzhouse. Klubben ville kun præsentere jazz – fortrinsvis af nyere observans og i koncertform (uden dans). I et samarbejde med Holbæk Kommunale Musikskole, der administrerer og selv anvender Musikhus Elværket – og med lydanlæg og først et Hornung & Møller senere et Yamaha Grand flygel på scenen, blev rammerne hen ad vejen skabt for noget godt. Den nævnte musikalske linie har været fulgt indtil i dag - heldigvis med den nye musiklov som økonomisk grundlag for stigende støtte fra stat, amt og kommune til koncerterne, hvilket har muliggjort et enestående program, hvor det bedste indenfor dansk jazz – krydret med fremragende internationale gæster – har været præsenteret for et lydhørt og aldersmæssigt bredt sammensat publikum.

  • A New Cd with JAZZPAR PRISVINDEREN ENRICO RAVA Enrico Rava JAZZPAR 2002 Sextet: Happiness Is…
    A new cd with JAZZPAR PRISVINDEREN ENRICO RAVA Enrico Rava JAZZPAR 2002 Sextet: Happiness Is… Enrico Rava plays better than ever! His warm, mellow and delightfully lyrical tone may turn fiery and aggressive. His style is a kind of American expressive jazz with Italian folklore added. There are references to a long line of jazz masters - with whom Rava has also often played during his long career in music - but first of all the Italian trumpet player is a musician with enormous experience and an easily recognizable sound. In 2002 Enrico Rava was the 13th recipient of the world’s largest jazz prize - the annual JAZZPAR Prize. The 62-year-old trumpet player, composer and band leader was the fifth European and first Italian to receive the cheque of DKK 200,000 from the former Danish Prime Minister during a concert at “Glassalen” in the Tivoli Gardens. But there is more to the JAZZPAR Prize than the large cash award donated by the exclusive sponsor, Skandinavisk Tobakskompagni. A tour is also arranged for the prize winner together with a number of Danish and international top musicians, they make recordings, and the project attracts considerable media attention. Enrico Rava, now 63, has covered a lot of ground. He was born in Trieste and played New Orleans jazz on trombone until he heard Chet Baker and Miles Davis. Then Enrico bought a trumpet and went to New York to study. From 1965 he toured with, among others, Mal Waldron and saxophonists Steve Lacy, Lee Konitz and Gato Barbieri. For a decade Rava worked with trombonist Roswell Rudd and Don Cherry on pocket trumpet, with bassist Charlie Haden, and with Carla Bley, Archie Shepp and many others.
